Hey Dan our IPs are showing. I don't know if this is a glich or you did this for a reason but I thought I would let you know.

that's indeed a serious security breach... Or have all the posters suddenly gained the moderator status?

Serious security breach?
I remember a time on this board when all IPs were showing always. Pretty reassuring I must say
I think it might have something to do with the fake accounts that were opened recently.

Relax!
Some people have been creating fake accounts not only here, but on other forums. Now in some cases they're just to fool around(as in yours truly's case ) but in others they're intentional, malicious.
Either way, it's easy to see if anybody has created mutliple accounts by comparing IP addresses. Just compare this one with Mel's IP.
BTW If you're smart, of course you'll have a decent firewall on your PC, and shouldn't worry overmuch about your IP showing.

Ah... I always thought ip adresses were part of the standard private information, but oh well... That's why I named it a "serious security breach" in the first place...
But is this really just for the purpose of getting rid of fake accounts??

It's for a reason.. It is only for a short time. (Due to all the fake dupe accounts that were created).

This is so sad. I had hoped everything had smoothed over by now. I feel so bad because to some extent, I had added to the flames last night. I would like to publicly apologize to the forum for my part in this.
